This is essentially a single-setting video gain option, which does boost brightness, but at the expense of washing out the colour and introducing a grainy quality to the image due to sensor noise.

If you reduce the resolution to 720p you can even shoot at 120fps, which is useful for creating slow-motion videos. Flip fans will gnash their teeth in lamentation when they see the time-lapse videos of a sunset or of freeway traffic you can make with your Toshiba.

While the image quality didn’t rival that of the impressive GoPro Hero3 Black Edition, the X-Sports certainly performed better than expected.

Colour fidelity is good, and there is sufficient detail, although compression is relatively aggressive so there is some softness to the picture. However, where the Xacti has a bulbous lens which could ruin the cut of a jacket pocket, the Camileo Pro HD is only slightly fatter at the business end.The company may not be Bang and Olufson, but most of what Toshiba makes is considered at least somewhere in the middle of the market, if not better. Filters include black and white, classic and negative – essentially effects we’d recommend leaving until the editing stage.

The LED video light is no better than smartphone LED video lights, too, so only effective at very close range. Toggling through the options and making selections is simple enough, but Toshiba's Wi-Fi Connect app makes the process a little clearer. With Full HD video recorded at a reasonably respectable 13Mbits/sec, 1GB of SD storage will be enough for around 10 minutes of footage, or 40 minutes of VGA. While the footage captured wouldn’t rival a commercial production, the setup was surprisingly comfortable and the image stabilisation did a good job of reducing camera shake.On the left side is the power button, while on the back there are four buttons to the left of the LCD screen. Many are asking if there's a need for a single-use device that just shoots video and captures photos, now that our smartphones have video capability and also do much, much more. It's also possible to shoot video at 60fps in the same mode, but still-image resolution drops to just 2Mp. The Camileo comes with a generous assortment of mounting options so that you can attach it to vented helmets, bikes and surfboards, as well as curved and flat surfaces. Although the Camileo is likely to be used mostly for shooting videos, it can also shoot 12Mp stills.

It’s a problem that was slightly visible on all the HD cameras except Samsung’s VP-HMX20C, but here it was particularly bad. inch screen is ensconced within a large plastic clip that lets you attach it to your belt or jacket pocket while you’re walking around. You can only select one of these scene settings at a time, though, so there will be no black and white footage with backlight compensation and soft skin. It doesn’t offer Full HD, either, or even the 1,440 x 1,080 of HDV, but shoots at 1,280 x 720 at its highest setting.

The camera's network is activated via the menu and shows up on your phone's available Wi-Fi connections list as Camileo X-SPORTS. However, there’s also a CD included with Arcsoft Media Impression and Converter, plus a trial of MAGIX Video Deluxe, if you want to do something a bit more sophisticated with your video. In the box are a cleaning cloth, a mini tripod, an HDMI cable for connecting to your TV, an A/V cable, USB and wall chargers, a wrist strap, and a case. The remaining options include a motion detection system, which triggers recording when sufficient action is sensed within the frame, and a slow motion system, which records at 120 frames per second but with a resolution of just 320 x 240 pixels.
